That is the right way indeed. For example, have a look at the VCard extension here: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/mina/vysper/trunk/server/core/src/main/java/org/apache/vysper/xmpp/modules/extension/xep0054_vcardtemp/ Foremost, I'd recommend to subclass org.apache.vysper.xmpp.modules.core.base.handler.DefaultIQHandler This is like implementing your own Servlet by subclassing DefaultServlet. It contains the XMPP stanza logic you want to provide. Additionally, you need to plug your handler into the server. This is best done by following the example in VcardTempModule, which + provides a Handler instance and registers it initializes persistence + (or any other backend connection you might need) makes your + extension's namespace known and announces your IQ stuff in the Service Discovery If you need persistence, have a look at the VcardTempPersistenceManager. What remains to be done is to make your Module known to the server. If you use Spring, add one line to the Spring configuration. If you use an embedded approach, you'd need to call the equivalent to server.addModule(new VcardTempModule()); like it is done in org.apache.vysper.xmpp.server.ServerMain HTH, please keep asking, Bernd
